I think it contains some of the elements, but does not adequately capture the intensionality, or robustness of the ordering.

Sean,
Does the proposal I made (reprinted below) get close to what you're looking for? Or is it off the mark?
<proposed>
When a navigational sequence is conveyed through presentation, components receive focus in an order that follows the relationships and sequences conveyed through the presentation. </proposed>
There's something not quite right, but I think it's trying to go in the direction you're suggesting.

I'd like the provision to capture two principles:
1) That the navigated order is *intensionally provided* by the author as a natural presentation order of the content (they can use a default for the content type if it is appropriate, but should do so in a mindful, as opposed to accidental way)
2) That if the content is delivered in an alternative modality, that the same order will be presented as that of the primary modality.
Now how we write that down I'm not sure, but I don't think we are there yet.

Thanks, Loretta. I think the approach makes sense, but I think "some order" will get us into trouble.
But maybe we can flip it around? How does this sound?
<proposed>
When a navigational sequence is conveyed through presentation, components receive focus in an order that follows the relationships and sequences conveyed through the presentation. </proposed>
Hmm. I wonder if this is already covered under 1.3.1? (The uber-SC...)

Subject: SC 2.4.6 wording
Sean raised a number of issues of interpretation with our current wording of SC 2.4.6:
<current>When a Web page is navigated sequentially, components receive focus in an order that follows relationships and sequences in the content. </current>
I thought I'd see whether we could clarify things by borrowing some of the language of SC 1.3.1:
<proposal>
When a Web page is navigated sequentially, components receive focus in some order that follows relationships conveyed through presentation .
</proposal>
Is this any better?
Loretta
